We are back on the forum, and to Anna Wahlgren's method.
Two years ago, we started and succeeded in implemented the Good Night's cure with our 16 month-baby (http://www.annawahlgren.com/forum/viewt ... 49&t=22439)
We would like to start it with our 1-year old baby. Both (boys) are 2 and half years apart.
We live in a small New York apartment, and have only one room for the kids. Until now, our youngest child has always slept in our room.
We have a few problems and we are calling for help on how to do things:
- we will have the two kids in the same room, their room. The older child is quite happy about the fact that they are going to share rooms, however, he does not like it so much when the younger one cries very loudly. Also, what if he starts playing with the jingle, and to say it while we are training the younger one to sleep? Or to get up, or call for us, as he now does sometimes a couple of times (his blanket is not properly adjusted, he needs to go to the bathroom, etc.). At the same time, the younger child seems to fall asleep at times when he hears the voice of his younger brother, but could he get excited/distracted/afraid by the noises of his younger brother in his room? What if the older child starts playing with the younger one, getting each other excited. I am sure that you must have had the same question before of a younger child getting the cure in the same room as an older toddler?
- The older child has developed a bad habit (that we have not fought, because of our exhaustion after the arrival of baby #2) of getting up during the night and joining us in our room and end the night in a crib that we have left next to our bed. The same crib as the one we are planning on using. Once we put it in the kids' room, when the older one gets up during the night, he will not find it in our room. And if we bring him back in the kids' room, we have a high chance of getting a tantrum that will for sure wake up the younger child. How should we do things?
- For naps, the older kid is still sleeping in the stroller, and we may have taken another bad habit of going for a walk so that he falls asleep. Naps have always been what we have struggled the most with during our last Cure experience. Ideally, we would like to go back to good habits and have the two of them in their cribs for naps. The older one has probably never had a nap in the crib in the last two years. Now he is more used to napping in a little bed at school during the weekdays, so it is probably not mission impossible, but there is probably a need for someone to be in the room. And the younger child has never napped in his bed so it will also be difficult. How can we attend to both properly?
- Finally, how do we replace the rocking for naps in the crib? Is it the buffing?
In terms of timing we are thinking of starting the cure on next Sunday night (June, 10th), because we will have 11 nights and more ahead of us to do things by the book, and because the clock is ticking before we start traveling and moving around during the summer (with jet lag...
). Thank you a lot for the time you spend helping others, and I hope you will be able to help us.

:thumbsup: But before doing the actual job you have to study thoroughly the GNS-book. So start with some reading: 
The Safari
When several kids share room it is even more important to check that the room is pitch dark at night. Do the test day-time, you should not be able to see anything once your eyes are used to the dark.
- the whole night 
- in their own room \:D/ . You can also have a party to celebrate this new era that starts, maybe give each boy a special toy friend to have in bed from now on. Move the bed with his help into their room so that he realizes what happens.
Do not hesitate to post your schedule before starting the cure.
I'm sorry, I realize my English is quite colored by the fact that I live in France
